Abstract

"INTERRUPTOR DE CIRCUITO EMPREGANDO UM MECANISMO PARA ABRIR UM CIRCUITO DE ENERGIA EM RESPOSTA A UM CORPO DE RESISTOR QUEIMAR ABERTO". Um disjuntor GFCI/AFCI (156) inclui um alojamento (158), contatos separáveis (160), e um mecanismo operacional (152) para abrir e fechar os contatos separáveis. Um primeiro mecanismo de desarme (162) inclui um circuito de desarme GFCI/AFCI (154) tendo um resistor (164). O resistor é energizado em resposta a uma condição de desarme. o primeiro mecanismo de desarme coopera com o mecanismo operacional para desarmar abertos os contatos separáveis em resposta à condição de desarme. o resistor tem um corpo (166) que queima aberto em resposta a uma falha dos contatos separáveis em desarmarem abertos. Um segundo mecanismo operacional contata o corpo do resistor e coopera com o mecanismo operacional para desarmar abertos os contatos separáveis em resposta ao corpo do resistor queimar aberto."CIRCUIT SWITCH USING A MECHANISM TO OPEN AN ENERGY CIRCUIT IN RESPONSE TO AN OPEN BURN RESISTOR BODY". A GFCI / AFCI circuit breaker (156) includes a housing (158), breakaway contacts (160), and an operating mechanism (152) for opening and closing breakaway contacts. A first trip mechanism (162) includes a GFCI / AFCI trip circuit (154) having a resistor (164). The resistor is energized in response to a trip condition. The first tripping mechanism cooperates with the operating mechanism for disarming open the breakable contacts in response to the tripping condition. The resistor has a body (166) that burns open in response to a failure of the disconnect contacts to trip open. A second operating mechanism contacts the resistor body and cooperates with the operating mechanism to disarm the detachable contacts open in response to the open burn resistor body.
